February was a great month for so many reasons. The month started with me cutting all my hair off and ended with a leap day of sunshine. Somewhere in the middle, we wished an old friend good luck as she starts a new journey in Australia, and I forgot to film Feb. 26.
I think one of the most fascinating side effects of this project is me opting in so much more. Those who know me well know that I’m more likely to be found in quiet spaces (namely, my bed) or with close friends, than out & about in a crowd of a hundred strangers. I often find all the ways possible to opt out of flashy social events, for fear that I won’t enjoy it or that my awkward turtle-ness will come out. But with this project, I find myself saying “yes” more often to invitations; if only to get a good video clip. But maybe that’s okay. There’s a world to be explored and captured. I should be opting in more often. So with that: here’s February 2016. A month full of being brave.
